proteanTecs and ELES announced their partnership for safety and mission-critical applications. The collaboration combines proteanTecs' Health and Performance Monitoring solutions with ELES' Design for Reliability methodology and advanced reliability test platforms. The two companies have published a new white paper highlighting the joint benefits, titled " Using Deep Data Analytics to Enhance Reliability Testing: The Fast Roadmap for Zero Defects," which can be downloaded here. Reliability testing procedures are based on stress iterations, but are mostly limited to pass/fail conclusions and critical effects can be missed.

Modern mission-critical applications, such as automotive and cloud computing, require going beyond traditional IC testing methods to assure lifetime reliability, resilience and safety. The proteanTecs and ELes collaboration enables an innovative approach that adds parametric measurements during the stress test in order to accurately and precisely monitor the real degradation effects. Additional applications include smart selection of the test material, dynamic stress level calibration to match the required mission profile, early identification of outliers, and the ability to quickly root cause once a failure is observed.

Customers gain improved confidence in their reliability and mission profiles, saving significant time and cost.
